Episode 18: Matt Carter, An Enneagram Skeptic Finds His Number (And So Can You!)

I’ve received lots of emails and messages from folks on social
media who are struggling to nail down their Enneagram number. Well,
let me tell you, if that’s the case for you, this show is spot
on.

While only you can determine your own type,
there are some things you can do to help get clarity. For
those out there who are trying to figure out their type it’s often
helpful to read up on wings. Wings are the number on either
side of your number. Each of these wings will have a
different influence on your type. I would also encourage
folks to go to Beatrice Chestnut’s book, The Complete
Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge and go through
the section where she describes the different subtypes. This
will really provide some insight and help you nail down that
number.

But, what does it look like when that process comes to life?

On today’s show we break it down with Enneagram skeptic, Matt
Carter. Matt Carter is a musician, podcaster, and entrepreneur
based in Seattle, WA. His career in the music industry
began as lead guitarist of the post-punk/hardcore band
Emery. His background as a touring musician laid a
foundation for various collaborative ventures, including the
founding of BadChristian Media and Jabberjaw Media. Matt hosts the
wildly popular The BadChristian Podcast and Break it
Down Podcast. He continues to tour and perform in
Emery and Matt& Toby.

When we started the show, we had no idea where the interview
would take us. And, let me warn you in advance, this show is unlike
any I’ve done in the past. In fact, it was so cool that when we
wrapped up, Anthony and I were so psyched we laughed out
loud. So, strap yourselves in, put on your crash helmets, and
let’s get to it.
